Ambition's Debt

By Mr. Vinister

"Get all the fools on your side, and you can be elected to anything." – Attributed to Prime Minister Wong

Panting with rage, Wong Yun Fat emerged from the rubble of his own headquarters, collapsed upon him thanks to his own minion. He had barely survived the crisis, escaping death only by hiding under his chair. The ruined Rising Gundam and Walter Gundam stood above him, defeated and destroyed but ominous in some way. He knew that the Walter was still operational; he could sense it's power returning, meaning that the Devil Gundam had to have been resurrected as well. Sure enough, as soon as he stepped inside the cockpit of the mobile fighter green DG cell cables wrapped around him. Normally he would have cared. He probably knew more about the Devil Gundam and it's nuances than any other person save it's creators themselves; but at this moment he didn't care in the least. Almost as soon as he had entered the Walter Gundam it transformed into it's ball mode and shot upwards into the sky, guided not only by Wong but the Devil Gundam itself as well; guiding it's minion towards it's enemy: the God Gundam, riding a carrier into the stratosphere. Wong allowed himself a vicious grin as he cut off the God Gundam, easily surpassing it and hovering above it. "I won't let you!" he shouted to the God Gundam's pilot.

He could hear Domon Kasshu's surprise as the gundam fighter spoke. "One of the four Heavenly Kings? But who is piloting it?"

Wong chuckled at Domon's confusion. "It's me.. have you forgotten?" He could almost taste Domon's surprise as he continued. "I was dethroned as world leader... all because of you."

As he spoke, the DG cells themselves wrapped around his face, forming into the shape of his near trademark sunglasses. "That's right... it's Wong Yun Fat!"

"That weapon... could he have...?" exclaimed Domon as the Walter Gundam then opened fire on the God Gundam and it's carrier, transforming to mobile fighter mode to continue it's attack. Wong grinned still further, the DG cells taking their toll on his revenge-driven mind.

"Exactly... I now require the power of DG cells, and now I am to be known as Wong the Great!" The Walter Gundam leapt onto the God Gundam's carrier, grabbing both of the God Gundam's arms with the Walter's legs, bracing the third foot against it's chest.

"I won't let you escape to space." Wong reiterated calmly. "You see, the fact of the matter is that the Devil Gundam belongs to me!"

Too shocked by this statement to try to retaliate, Domon could barely stammer out. "The...the Devil Gundam...it's still alive?!" This was what Wong had been waiting for. Domon Kasshu had robbed him of his position, his power...everything. Now, it was his turn to watch Domon suffer, and he had every intention of enjoying it.

It's only fitting that I be the one to end Domon Kasshu's pitiful life. However, I want him to writhe a bit more first.

"That's right, I'd always intended the Setai unit to be a woman, and it seems that someone finally had the sense to heed my research." smirked Wong.

Domon's voice turned from surprise to dismay upon hearing Wong's words. "Not Rain!" Now, despair was evident in his voice, but there was something else, something Wong couldn't quite place.

Wong laughed mockingly, wanting Domon to realize that he, too, would lose everything he held dear. "Yes, I can feel it... without question, this time the Devil Gundam truly has been resurrected!" Wong exclaimed.

"You monster!" screamed Domon in hatred. As he did so, the God Gundam's vulcan guns fired in retaliation at the Walter Gundam.

The Walter Gundam jumped away as Wong yelled "Shut up!" at the little brat who had taken everything from him. Transforming into it's ball mode, the Walter Gundam pelted the God Gundam and it's carrier with lasers, rendering the carrier useless. Without the carrier to hold it aloft, the God Gundam began to fall through the stratosphere. Wong watched from his vantage point, a wide grin on his face.

"That's right... fall to earth and be crushed by the awaiting ground!"

As he watched, a white blur flew from below to his right, heading straight for the plummeting God Gundam. The minute it reached it's target, both the blur and the God Gundam disappeared from view. Wong's eyes widened in shock as he searched around him. As he turned, the God Gundam came up from behind him, perched on a white mobile horse, and the only existing mobile horse was Fuunsaiki, the horse of the late Master Asia, Domon's mentor.

"Wong!" shouted Domon, his voice thick with anger. "You don't have what it takes to be a gundam fighter! It's impossible for someone like you to defeat me!" The Walter Gundam opened fire on the God Gundam again, but Fuunsaiki guided it's rider easily through the hail of lasers until the God Gundam was within range enough to fight back.

"Anyone who tries to thwart love shall hear loud hooves and cries for revenge!" cried Domon as the God Gundam's hand glowed as it's pilot gathered his ki for his special attack.

"Bakaretsu.... God Finger!!"

Inside the head where the cockpit was, Wong was barely able to speak.

*Is this how it ends? No, this can't be happening... my precious Devil Gundam wouldn't....*

"In any case, you and your friends are finished. The Devil Gundam's desire to annihilate humanity is still alive!"

"Shut your mouth!" retaliated Domon, as Fuunsaiki spun and kicked the Walter Gundam's head from it's shoulders, the body of the defeated mobile fighter detonating in a titanic explosion.
